study

During the Lift conference, a team from frog design (the global innovation firm) will be roving amongst attendees, presentations and hallway discussions. Why? They will be acting like anthropologists, studying the Lift attendees in their “natural habitat” to find ways of improving the future Lift Experience. frog will be using a number of methods to gather insights, and will be looking for some volunteers to self-document their conference experience. These volunteers may also participate in a special brainstorming workshop. Results of this first-time ever “Lift under the design microscope” program will be shared at the end of the conference. Watch out for more details to be announced once LIFT 10 has started!

Sociogeek: How do you expose yourself online? How do you choose your online friends? Another kind of online survey

Daniel Kaplan, CEO of French think tank FING, discuss the results of an on-line survey which aimed at investigating the way people expose themselves online. Are we being too candid about ourselves when online? Are we as transparent as we pretend to be? What strategies do we follow in order to maximize the range and efficiency of our online social networks? And how do we select new online "friends"? Does online networking lower current social barriers?
